I recently had a blood test to check liver function due to stomach pain near the xiphoid process, which subsided after eating. The test showed elevated liver values (ALT 256, AST 84, Alkaline Phos 243) and normal bilirubin. I am a 34-year-old male who drank alcohol nearly every night and took tramadol three times daily for pain from an accident. I have since stopped both and am focusing on a healthy lifestyle. What do these test results indicate, and what steps should I take to address the liver issue?

I found a bump under my left armpit that seemed to get slightly worse but is now less tender. I also noticed a smaller bump under my right armpit. I feel fine otherwise and have a doctor's appointment. Is this normal and will it go away with time?

I woke up with an airy sensation in my throat and chest, along with burning tender spots on my chest that are localized and sporadic. I also have difficulty swallowing due to a tight throat. What could be causing these symptoms?

I am a 21-year-old male with a serious rash that itches very badly on and around my genital area, and there are some tiny bumps on my penis. The itching has been going on for approximately 2 months and is getting worse. I also have severe athlete's foot. Could these conditions be related, and what can I do for relief until I can see a doctor?

I was tested positive for H. Pylori bacteria and started a treatment with three kinds of pills. After 8 days, I developed a rash all over my body, which I believe is a side effect of the amoxicillin. I am currently applying aloe gel to the itchy areas, but I am unsure if the rash will go away and if I should continue with the remaining 4 1/2 days of my pills. What should I do?
